Here is my new shopping list for the tranny rebuild to correct 3rd and
4th gear syncros problem.
Pilot Bush
Clutch disk
Release bearing
clutch fork boot
Spring, clutch pedal return
oil seal
Gasket Set
Clutch alignment tool
Bearing main shaft
Bearing 1st motion shaft
6 Cyl. Rear oil Seal Conversion
bush clutch fork (2)
ball, detent selector (5)
spring, ball (detent selector) (3)
Uprated syncros (Still looking for US source with practical pricing)
Thrust washers (need to measure for size before ordering)
Laygear (will inspect before ordering, how do I tell if it needs renewing?)
Selector fork 3rd and 4th (will inspect before ordering, how do I tell
if it needs renewing?)
Onward to disassembly
